I don't get it. We're the KKK suppose to be the bad guys for wanting to kill the guy who openly admitted to selling his soul to the devil? Are we also suppose to root for the criminals evading the laws that everyone else follows just because they are goofy? Is it just that they receive a pardon cause some corrupt politician that was about to side with the evil white guys saw profit in using them?

Honestly, I think the Coens were subtly trying to make a movie that shows the KKK as just warriors of God and the liberal act of progress as the evil spawn of Satan.

I enjoy the way the non-main characters talk in this movie. With no emotion. Is that how Southern people talk?

They speak similarly unemotively when the Soggy Bottom Boys blow up and there's a woman asking for the record.

It reminds me of this scene from No Country for Old Men. Is this how Southerns talk, or just how Coens think they talk?

I'm a total /pol/lack who is fully redpilled, but this shit is just cringe user. It's just a fun movie. Yes, you're supposed to root for them because they're more fun and goofy. When the governor pardons them he makes a point of talking about their rough and rowdy "misdemeanoring" ways, to emphasize they weren't violent criminals. Just let yourself have fun for once.

> Are we also suppose to root for the criminals
This is the most American thing i've read in my life

jimmy james origin story

What do you dislike about Gilliam movies user? I've always found them to have excellent settings and visuals which is what a lot of people enjoy about movies. Generally the performances are pretty strong as well and the stories/themes are usually fantastic (in the 'fantasy' sense not the 'really good' sense) and imaginative.

Most southerners talk like faggots with high pitched voiced and "uptalk". They sound like gay stereotypes.People have this outdated idea of southerner men being roughnecks but their mannerisms are usually disgustingly effeminate.

t. constituency

what's post-modern about it?

The governor doesn't even know what they did, just that they are popular with his constituency, so he pardons them with condition they support him. Notice how Clooney's character at the end has a monologue about how the flood isn't an act of God but for the hydro power to bring the new age to Mississippi. The soggy bottom boys are apparently going to be used to further the political aspirations of the govner, who clearly is making money on flooding land and ushering in the new era of power. Their band is nothing without the guitar playing of their soulless black friend. Seems like the coens meant to make them be good bad guys.

>bringing up /pol/
Sorry user. Forget this isn't a board dedicated to actual discussion of tv and film.

i like the coen brothers, but this movie was kind of bland for me. i like the creativity behind transforming homers odyssey, but its kinda zz

I first watched it in high-school and even today it is still one of my favorite movies. I’ve watched it so many times I’ve practically memorized Big Rock Candy Mountain.

>Before recording the song, McClintock cleaned it up considerably from the version he sang as a street busker in the 1890s. Originally the song described a child being recruited into hobo life by tales of the "big rock candy mountain". In later years, when McClintock appeared in court as part of a copyright dispute, he cited the original words of the song, the last stanza of which was:

The punk rolled up his big blue eyes
And said to the jocker, "Sandy,
I've hiked and hiked and wandered too,
But I ain't seen any candy.
I've hiked and hiked till my feet are sore
And I'll be damned if I hike any more
To be buggered sore like a hobo's whore
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains."
